“If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”Isaac Newton
The metaphor of "standing on the shoulder of giants" is often used to
promote and validate the Free Software Movement
Richard Matthew Stallman (born March 16, 1953), often shortened to rms,[1] is an American software freedom activist and computer programmer. In September 1983, he launched the GNU Project[2] to create a free Unix-like operating system, and has been the project's lead architect and organizer. With the launch of the GNU Project, he initiated the free software movement; in October 1985 he founded the Free Software Foundation.
Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft and he is the main author of several copyleft licenses including the GNU General Public License, the most widely used free software license.[3] Since the mid-1990s, Stallman has spent most of his time advocating for free software, as well as campaigning against both software patents and what he sees as excessive extension of copyright laws. Stallman has also developed a number of pieces of widely used software, including the original Emacs,[4] the GNU Compiler Collection,[5]
the GNU Debugger,[6] and many tools in the GNU Coreutils[citation needed]. He co-founded the League for Programming Freedom in 1989.
